The Australian Government has announced changes to the way video games are classified in Australia. Starting from September 22nd, 2024, two new rules will apply to games that include “in-game purchases with an element of chance,” such as loot boxes [now M], and games that feature “simulated gambling,” like casino games [now R18+].

Government governing = censor fake gambling and allow loot boxes? Does everyone in Australia agree with you? I know at least dozens who don't. Dozens!
